CURRENT BYLAWS WORDING
References to specific article and section numbers of the international bylaws within policy, procedure, or other documents will be updated to reflect new article, section, and line numbers.
IMPACT ON CHAPTERS:
Current bylaws are replaced with reformatted version.
As part of a comprehensive review of the Sigma international bylaws, the reformatted document was created using a more modern single-column format with line numbering. Content was reordered and streamlined but no substantive changes were made, and the original intent of the bylaws was maintained.
